Questions & Answers about Los estudiantes aprenden inglés muy rápido.
Why does the verb end in -en here (aprenden)?
Aprender (to learn) is a regular verb ending in -er. Because the subject is los estudiantes (a "they" group), we drop the -er and add the regular "they" ending, which is -en.
Why isn't inglés capitalized like it is in English?
Does los estudiantes only refer to male students?
Not necessarily. The singular noun estudiante ends in -e, so the word itself doesn't change for gender; you say el estudiante (the male student) or la estudiante (the female student). The plural los estudiantes is used for a group of boys, or a mixed group of boys and girls. You only use las estudiantes if the group is entirely female.
